People?-How Universal Menace to
Health May Be Disarmed.
A few years ago the people IN certain
section in one of the leading cities of the
State were Frustrated with malignant
disease, and upon investigation it was
found that only those who used water from
a famous old well were the victims.
Prof. S. A. baltimore, analyst of the
New York State Board of Health, upon
Analysing water from this well, found it
more deadly than the city sewageI
The filling up of the old well stopped the
ravages of the disease.
Not long since the writer noticed Wills
some men were making an excavation Ysr
q large building, a stratum of dark colored
earth running from near the surface to
hard pan. There it took another course
toward well near at hand. The water
from this well had for years been tainted
with the DRAWINGS from a receiving vault,
the percolations Of which had discolored
the earth
Terriblei
A similar condition of things exists in
every village and city where we'll water is
used and though the hltering which the
fluids receive in passing through the earth
may give them clear appearance, yet the
poison and disease remains, though the
water may look never so clear.
1t is still worse with the farmer, for the
drainage from the barn yard and the Stops
from the kitchen eventually find their way
into the family WE'LL
The same condition of things exists in
our large cities, whose water supplies are
rivers fed by little streams that carry off
the filth and drainage from houses. This
''water" is eventually drunk by rich and
Door alike with great evil
Some cautious people resort to the filter
for purifying this water, but even the
filter does not remove this poison, for
water Of the most deadly character may
pass through this filter and become clear,
yet the poison disguised is there.
They who use filters know that they
must be renewed at regular periods, for
even though they do not take out all the
impurity, they soon become foul.
Now in like manner the human kidneys
act as a filter for the blood, and if they are
filled up with impurities and become foul,
like the filter, all the blood in the system
coursing through them becomes bad, for it
is now conceded fact that the kidneys
are the chief means whereby the blood is
purified. These organs are filled with
thousands OF hdir-Hte tubes which drain the
impurities from the blood, as the sewer
pipes drain impurities from our houses.
II sewer pipe breaks under the house,
the sewage escapes into the earth and fills
the house with poisonous gas; so il any Of
the thousand and one little hair-like sewer
tubes Of the kidneys break down, the en-
tire body is affected by this awful poison.
1t is scientific fact that the kidneys
have few nerves of sensation; and, conse-
quently, disease may exist in these organs
for long time and not be suspected by
the individual. 1t is impossible to filter or
take the death out Of the blood when the
least arrangement exists in these organs,
and if the blood is not filtered then the
uric acid, or kidney poison, reno vable only
by Warmers safe cure, accumulates in the
system and attacks any organ, producing
nine out of ten ailments, just as sewer gas
and bad drainage produce SO many. fatal dis
orders.
Kidney disease may be known to exist if
there is any marked departure from or
binary health without apparent known
cause, and it should be understood by all
that the greatest peril exists, and is inten-
sified, if there is the least neglect to treat
it promptly with that great specific, War
ner's safe cure, remedy that has re-
ceived the highest recognition by scien-
tific men who have thoroughly investi-
: gated the character of kidney derange-
ments.
They may not tell US that the cause of so
many diseases in this organ is the impure
water or any other one thing, but this pc
sonous water with it's impurities coursing
| constantly through these delicate organs
undoubtedly does produce much of the de-
cay and disease which eventually termi-
nate in the fatal Bright's disease, for this
disease, alike among the drinking men,
prohibltionists, the tobacco slave, the la
borer, the merchant and the tramp, works
terrible devastation every year.
1t is well known that the liver, which is
so easily thrown 'out OF gear, " as they say,
very readily disturbs the action of the kid
neys. That organ when deranged imnae-
d;dtely announces the fact by sallow skin,
constipated bowels, coated tongue and
headaches, but the kidney when diseased,
struggles on for long time, and the fact
of its disease can only be discovered by the
aid of the microscope or by the physician
who is skillful enough to trace the most il
direct effects in the system to the derange-
ment of these organs as the prime cause.
The public is learning much on this sub
ject and when it comes to understand that
the kidneys are the real health regulators,
as they are the real blood purifiers of the
system, they will escape an infinite amount
of unnecessary suffering, and add length
of days and happiness to their lot

dclusions, and it may be that they got in

The untimely death which annually
carries off thousands Of human beings in the
prime of youth, is indeei terrible. The
first approach of consumption is insdious,
and the sufferer himself is the most uncon-
scious of its approach. One IF the most
alarming symptoms of this dread disease
is, in fact, the ineradicable hope, which
turks in the heart of the victim, preventing
him from taking timely steps to arrest the
malady. That it can be arrested in its
earlier stages is beyond question, as there
are hundreds Of Northumberland cases
where DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry has effected u complete cure.
